Story-telling Bristol Wedding Photographer serving Bristol, Gloucestershire & beyond
Ready to throw out the wedding rulebook? - I’m here for it 💥
You’re not here for a picture-perfect fairytale - you’re here for your story. The kind that’s a little wild, deeply honest, and full of the moments that matter most.
Whether you're freshly engaged, getting married barefoot on a beach, saying your vows under fairy lights in your back garden, or throwing the kind of party that feels more like a festival than a formal ‘I do’ - I see you. You’re doing it your way, with heart, soul, and a whole lot of love.
And that’s exactly what I’m here to capture.
I’m all about the real stuff, the tearful glances, the belly laughs, the wind in your hair and confetti in your shoes kinda love. The stuff that can’t be staged, only felt.
You don’t need to perform for the camera. You just need to show up, be yourselves, and let the magic unfold. I’ll be there for every second of it, camera in hand, fully invested in telling your story just as it happened - from the wedding rehearsal to the first dance, and everything in between.
So if you’re all about big love, honest moments, and not taking things too seriously - let’s make something beautiful together.
Wedding photographer for Bristol, North Somerset, Gloucestershire and beyond
I’ve got deep roots and even deeper love for this part of the world - from the colourful streets of Bristol to the coastal charm of North Somerset and the rolling countryside around Gloucester and the South West. I’m always up for an adventure, and nothing makes me happier than hopping in the car to capture love stories across this region and beyond.
Some of my favourite Bristol wedding venues? The Mount Without for its moody, magical vibes. Paintworks for its cool, industrial charm. And Coombe Lodge when you want pure countryside romance. Whether you're planning a tipi wedding on a farm, a garden ceremony at home, or a city bash in a warehouse venue - I’m there with bells on, ready to capture your wedding ceremony with a relaxed wedding photography style that lets you just be you.
Planning a laid-back civil ceremony with all your favourites? This civil ceremony photographer knows how to capture the magic in the simple stuff.
Registry office? Backyard vows? Rooftop drinks after a quick ‘I do’? Honestly, some of my favourite weddings have been the most stripped back. Civil ceremonies give you the freedom to focus on what really matters - the two of you and the people who mean the world. And just because it’s low-key doesn’t mean it’s any less powerful. From those jittery pre-ceremony nerves to that euphoric moment when it’s all official, I’ll be right there with you. Whether you're after a Bristol wedding photographer for a quick city ceremony or something a little more offbeat, I’ll bring the same energy, attention, and heart to every single frame of your wedding day.
I am proudly LGBTQ+ friendly and fully inclusive of all religions, cultures, and backgrounds. Every love story is beautiful, and I am here to capture yours with respect, authenticity, and joy.
I bring a fully inclusive, all-heart approach to every wedding I photograph, and I’m honoured to document same sex weddings that are bursting with personality and real connection. Whether you’re throwing a backyard bash with rainbow bunting, eloping quietly just the two of you, or taking over a Bristol rooftop bar for the party of your life, I’m here to deliver wedding photography that celebrates exactly who you are. No awkward posing, no outdated expectations - just your story, your love, your way.
From documentary wedding photography to pre-wedding shoots and formal portraits, I cover it all
Why documentary wedding photography is my love language
For me, it’s all about the in-between moments. The things you don’t plan. Your best friend wiping away a tear. That uncontrollable giggle during the vows. Your mum dancing like no one’s watching. As a documentary wedding photographer, I blend into the background, quietly observing and capturing the big and small moments that actually matter. So when you look back at your wedding photos, you don’t just see what it looked like - you feel what it felt like.
Why every couple should consider a pre wedding photographer
Think of a pre-wedding shoot as your chance to shake off the nerves, get comfy in front of the camera, and celebrate your engagement in a fun, pressure-free way. Whether we’re strolling through your favourite Bristol park, grabbing a coffee at your go-to cafe, or heading somewhere wild and windswept, it’s all about capturing your connection. As your pre wedding photographer, I’ll make sure it’s super relaxed and completely you - just a fun afternoon with a camera tagging along. It’s a perfect warm-up for your wedding day.
Let’s talk about formal wedding portraits without the stiff vibes
Yes, I do the group shots for the grandparents. And yes, you can have those timeless portraits you’ll want to frame. But formal wedding portraits don’t have to feel like a photo shoot. We’ll keep it quick, fun, and genuinely reflective of who you are. Whether you want relaxed family shots, creative couple portraits, or a few epic backdrops around Bristol, I’ll make sure you get them - without missing the rest of your special day.
My style? A creative wedding photographer who brings natural energy (and good vibes only)
What it means to be a creative wedding photographer with a heart for storytelling
I don’t do cookie-cutter. As a creative wedding photographer, I’m always looking for the light, the laughter, the chaos, the calm - the beauty in whatever the day throws at us. It’s not about forced poses or stiff smiles. It’s about letting the day unfold naturally, staying flexible, and capturing all the weird, wonderful, and wildly emotional bits that make your wedding yours. It’s documentary style with a creative edge.
Why being a female wedding photographer in Bristol gives me a unique perspective
There’s something special about being invited into such an emotional, personal space - and as a female wedding photographer in Bristol, I don’t take that trust lightly. I know when to step in with gentle guidance, and when to quietly fade into the background. I bring softness, strength, and total presence to every wedding I shoot, and I’m all about creating a calm, comfortable environment where you can just be yourselves.
What natural wedding photography really looks like (hint: it’s not perfect, it’s real)
Natural wedding photography is about honesty. It’s the stuff you feel, not the stuff you stage. It’s messy hugs, crooked boutonnières, kids running wild, windblown hair, and completely unfiltered joy. It’s about capturing how it actually felt to live that day - not just how it looked. And as your wedding photographer in Bristol, that’s exactly what I’ll do.
Wedding photography pricing made simple
I offer three wedding packages: Solstice (£1500), Eclipse (£2700), and Wanderlust (£3500), with increasing coverage and extras including film, drone, ceremony and speeches films, wedding album design, and a second photographer.
